Ladle 800 Makers Mark

Post by moonshine »

Hello All. I've been searching for some time now and just can't find this one. I'm not sure even if it's German.
Looks to me like a VE or LE. 11 1/2 inches long and 215 grams. Thank You.

Hi,

Perhaps not German but a Belgian maker's mark.

Oel.

Hi

The rhombus-form mark looks like marks used in France for silversmith from 1798 to now.
But :
1. The silversmith mark should be accompanied by two other marks : garantee hallmark and title hallmark
See examples below :

2. The "800" inscribed on the ladle is uncommon for French silver (in fact, title hallmark specify the purity : 800 or 950/1000).
The number could have been inscribed by the silversmith for export, but that only an hypothesis.
